How to Buy a Used Bike

Buying used bikes in India can be an extremely risky task for people, with little knowledge on the trends in automobile industry. This kind of information always results in deals, highly inclined towards looks. After getting attracted to the good looking pre-owned bike, people hardly look at the other aspects to be kept in mind while buying a second-hand bike. But, this practice is not fruitful to spend a long time with a used bike. Apart from the appearance, one should also consider its other aspects that contribute in its better performance.  

This first criterion in the selection of a pre-owned bike is to look at the condition of its various parts. If you have to get it repaired after the purchase, it will result in a completely non-profitable deal. So, look out for the buckled wheels, bent cranks or worn tyres before buying your second-hand bike as they require a big pocket for repair.

A bike, suspected to be stolen, always results in criminal dealings. This mean, if you buy such second-hand bike it will be considered as a crime. Hence, before you make a purchase of used bike, do proper research on its history.

To measure the condition of a second-hand bike, check the state of its tyres, wheels, brakes, headset, chain, chainwheel, sprockets, pedals, handlebars, saddle, and many more. This will certainly help you in deciding the total worth of that bike. Also, it will serve as a base for deciding if that particular used bike is worth buying or not.
